He is an extension of who I am according to the Americans With Disabilities Act since this is not an operating room, and since you are not scrubbed in in a sterile fashion, Estero environment is a poor excuse for asking me to take my dog out. I would do a lot more than complain to an administrator.I have had Nash in the ICU in preop in every testing environment known in the hospital except for the operating room itself. No one has said one word to me about it in fact he is a welcome member of the team. This turns my stomach because it again is another example of discrimination.
